In Romans 12 St Paul calls us to ‘no longer conform to the pattern of this world but to be transformed through the renewal of your minds’. Part of the calling of Christians to work on allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our thinking and attitudes towards every aspect of our lives so that they can more fully reflect God’s perfect will for them. This is a difficult task with so much pressure upon us from our surrounding culture to conform to its thinking and attitudes. During October, across all three services at Christ Church, we will consider how to develop a Christian attitude to a number of very different issues. This won’t be easy but the aim is to question the thinking and assumptions that we are under pressure to uncritically accept and consider the radical alternative held out by a Christian response to these issues.
